Becoming Van Gogh
Becoming Van Gogh explores the unconventional path and artistic evolution of one of the world’s most recognisable artists, Vincent Van Gogh.
Suffering from anxiety and mental illness for a majority of his life, Vincent Van Gogh only began painting in his late twenties. His unique perspective, bold brushstrokes and use of colour became widely recognised after his passing at the age of 37. Since this time, the complicated artist continues to influence the art world, as his work became synonymous with the post-impressionist movement.
Becoming Van Gogh, features more than 70 paintings and drawings from the artist, bringing together pieces from private and public collections throughout Europe and North America.
Becoming Van Gogh is only exhibiting at the Denver Art Museum in Denver North America, and will be available for public viewing from Sunday 21 October 2012 – Sunday 20 January 2013.
